Above
Lucas & Steve Lyrics

This life ain't fair
Life can be harsh and difficult to navigate.

Getting this money
Working hard to earn and accumulate wealth.

Don't wait til' I die for you to show me you love me
Expressing the desire for love and appreciation to be shown while still alive.

I don't need nobody round' me when it get ugly
Preferring to be alone when things get tough.

I'm very well protected by the angels above me
Feeling guarded and supported by spiritual forces.

Seen me at my worst I was struggling
Having been witnessed in a low point and experiencing hardship.

Slippin' and fallin' yea I was stumbling
Experiencing difficulty or failure.

Them pandemic checks ain't really cutting it
The financial support provided during the pandemic is not enough.

Shit getting worse now we screaming fuck the government
Displeased with the actions and policies of the government.

I just wanna pull up in a Cullinan, yeah
Dreaming of material success and the ability to purchase luxury items.

Do it for my brothers who ain't here
Working hard in memory of loved ones who have passed away.

It's crazy how they hate when you alive
Observing hostility and negativity towards oneself while still alive.

But love you when you die
Noticing an outpouring of love and appreciation after death.

Man this life ain't fair
Reiterating the unfairness and challenges of life.

It keep going you can't reverse the time
Stressing the inevitability and irreversibility of the passage of time.

I'm focused they can't disturb the grind
Maintaining focus and determination despite external distractions or disruptions.

Forever grateful
Expressing continuous appreciation.

'Cause I know there's people in the world with problems worse than mine
Acknowledging that others may be suffering more greatly and showing gratitude for one's own situation.

Saw my bro in a casket, ain't know how to react
Experiencing the shock and grief of a loved one's death.

But I could hear him saying Stevey keep dropping these tracks
Imagining the deceased encouraging the artist to continue working on music.

Handle business and keep your paper properly stacked
Encouraging responsible financial management and business dealings.

Got a lot on my mind
Feeling burdened with many thoughts and concerns.

Me against the world
Feeling isolated or misunderstood in one's struggles.

I feel like Pac in his prime
Feeling confident or empowered, like the rapper Tupac during his peak.

The way I feel is hard to describe
Struggling to articulate or convey one's emotions.

A lot of pain inside, you see it all in my eyes
Experiencing emotional pain which is visible to others.

But I thug it out cause' my strength is my family's strength
Enduring hardship for the sake of one's loved ones.

So every moment with them is happily spent
Valuing and cherishing time spent with family members.

I done made it through the most tragic events
Having overcome significant and painful experiences.

But I get stronger when my back to fence
Becoming more resilient and determined in difficult circumstances.

Back to the drawing board
Returning to the starting point to try again or start anew.

Letting the pen work, stretching my vocal cords
Creating and performing music with dedication and effort.

Long live Kers, rev ya bike, let the motor roar
Honoring and remembering a loved one by enjoying their favorite activities.

When we get that get back we going overboard
Planning to celebrate or indulge excessively when successful or wealthy.

Lord forgive me
Asking for forgiveness for one's sins.

For my sins but I'm scarred for life
Expressing remorse and a lasting impact or trauma from past mistakes.

There's dark roads but I walk with christ
Finding comfort and guidance in religion during difficult or uncertain times.

Sleep is for the dead we outside with it
Working or enjoying life with dedication and little rest.

Doing graveyard shifts working overnights
Working late or unusual hours to earn a living or achieve success.

Streets get violent
Communities or neighborhoods may experience violence or crime.

Time keep flying
Feeling like time is passing quickly or without pause.

Just keep on riding
Continuing to persevere and move forward despite obstacles.

Keep going hard
Continuing to work with effort and dedication.

Yeah, keep on grinding
Persisting and working hard to achieve success.
